This is an excellent vlog for low stakes poker which plays way more different than the higher stakes. I found that your play and commentary very helpful. Thank you very much.
Just found your channel a couple days ago and am hooked. Really simple format with eloquent, easy-to-understand hand reviews. Awesome stuff; canât wait for more!
Glad you enjoy it, thank you!
I enjoyed this, and I subscribed.
This is the most practical poker vlog for 1/2 - 1/3 stakes that I've seen this far, and I'm subscribed to about a dozen other channels - so thank you for this.
New sub here. Dig your style and the 1/3 content. No sputnik at the table. Table change all day long. Good call. Shame on the dealer for not squashing that nonsense. I always politely approach the floor when that happens. Collusion all day.
Yessss! Todd is back!
I enjoyed this vlog partly because he's not priding himself on playing very aggressive and partly because he shows hands that other vloggers tend to hide. Let's give Todd a challenge to find one bluff per vlog if hes comfortable. Keep it up!
I take that back, we want to see Todd make money not lose for views
I usually only get an opportunity for one or two, but Iâll do my best! I canât compete with Rampage tho đ
Enjoyed watching you navigate the 1/3 streets. Thanks for the content!
Thanks for watching, Lucas!
Glad youâre back! Nice session.
Thanks for continuing to swing by and watch my sessions, Mark!
I really love your 1 3 poker content. I see itâs been awhile since youâve had a video, so not sure whatâs going on, but I want to encourage you and let you know that your videos are PERFECT for people wanting to get into low stakes games and have winning hands
Glad to see a new video Todd!
Thanks, Matt. Canât wait for the next Vegas trip and sweat!
Great to see something quality at more reasonable stakes for the average player.
Todd , I just found you on CZcams. I like your videos. I have a comment which may not be valid as I have only watched 3 or your videos. The MOST important thing in poker is GAME SELECTION, 2nd is POSITION! I noticed a lot of the times when you bet , your opponent or opponents
Fold. I think you need to a better job of GAME SELECTION. And if that means going to different casinos or playing at night etc. then Iâd look at that
But I may be completely off base as Iâve only watch a few videos. Lots of luck and throw away crap like k-j etc
Utg. Much luck to ya
Awesome! Love the way you explain your hands
I appreciate it, thanks for watching!
This made my day better
This comment made my day better
Just found your channel. Great poker vlog. I subbed. Greetings from The Netherlands
This isnât criticism but Iâm noticing a lot of âCZcams poker playersâ are wayyyy over thinking a lot of hands and itâs getting them in trouble. 95% of the people youâre playing with arenât thinking about your range or your 3 bet tendencies, theyâre just hoping the spade hits and calling way to much with QJsuited cus it looks nice. Thank you for the content, Keep at it brotha, poker takes a lifetime to master.
Thatâs definitely the case which is why poker is still profitable. It doesnât hurt to play the game with sound strategy even at the low stakes tho.
Yes on other low stakes CZcams channels I see way too much: "I check on the river hoping to induce a bluff from my opponent, and... he checks". At these stakes you are playing way more against calling stations than bluffers. So assume they are much more likely to call than bluff. (Also they are chasing or looking to get lucky so don't miss betting on the turn and charging them).
Neither are they.... they just sit and look over the video and dwell for hours on what bullshit they will have. Also most of these youtubers put way too much value on shit hands.
Facts
You donât play enough or are a losing player if you think this. A lot much people are studying poker now a days because itâs so accessible and easy to find tips and range charts.
Really enjoyed your vlog, it was easy to watch and at the stakes I playđ
Thanks for watching, Scott!
Always enjoy your content. Very well played hands. Good luck on the felt. Thanks
Thanks, Richard!
Good video! I love the content! Keep up the good work. Subscribed and thumbs up! đ
Thanks for the sub, Jeff!
Hope all is well đHappy New Year
Nice video. Was pretty enjoyable as a newbie to your channel.
And yes, the back raise is ALWAYS aces or kings lol
Glad you enjoyed!
Enjoy your vlogs
First time on your Vlog and enjoyed it. I did like and subscribe.
Awesome! Thank you do much!
Very nice vlog. I did learn a couple of things and joined your dicord. I am hoping to play the Wynn this summer, so this was particularly interesting. Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it!
good stuff as usual...
That old man coffee saved you a lot of cheese
You're really good at vlogging and would love to see you start back up. Well done and hope to see you again!
Thank you for the kind words! Iâm starting fresh with a new video later this week and Iâll be back to posting more consistently this year. Cheers!
New to your channel. I am a coin collector and have a channel but do love Hold-em. Don't have any places close by to play. So I collect coins. Enjoyed watching. I am retired so have nothing but time to watch.
Excellent videos and commentary. Do you only show hands you win?
đŠ
Was just at the Wynn in early May and their is def. A crew of people who work together. Collusion was very obvious. I played super tight and hit and run on them.
What do you use to film? I love the quality
Yes, I really enjoy your videos! Iâve played with you at horseshoe Indianapolis. You seem like a really solid player and I enjoy your breakdowns throughout the video keep up the good work! I hope to see more videos from you in the near future.
Thanks for watching, Mark! Being more consistent with content is one of my goals for the year, so Iâll be back with another one in no time.
@@toddswardenski bro where the fuk you post it at?
Good to see youâre back! I liked your play other than calling off the BB with pocket 99âs after he says he never chops!
Yeah wish I could have that one back. Itâs probably not that bad if he ever does this with AJ+ but thatâs probably unlikely. No way to really know.
Good shit, pal
i just found your channel today. I like the format for your hand reviews. I don't play live poker (once actually) , just small stakes online. Do you think live poker has softer games or is it about the same? I hope you keep doing these. And yes i did subscribe.
Welcome! Yes, Iâd say live is much softer than online stakes.
Great analysis hand for hand new subscriber!
Much appreciated. Welcome to the channel!
@@toddswardenski thanks!
If your plan is to peel just one street with tptk, definitely just fold AQ pre.
What's up Todd believe it or not I have been watching your videos and and you are the s*** I love how you play and your videos it helped me how to be a better poker player thank you brother from the bottom of my heart please keep doing videos.
Hey, thank you very much! Iâm glad youâre getting something out of the strategy breakdowns. Iâm putting together the next video this week and plan to be significantly more consistent this year so stay tuned!
Love seeing these 1/3 games!
do you only play big pairs and ak
Havenât watched your blog before⊠Some background on me I live in Michigan, before Covid Michigan had a booming poker community, after only Detroit has decent playâŠ. I was moving to Vegas when Covid hit and that messed up all my plansâŠ
Found a good situation in Michigan so now I go to Vegas 4/5 times a year to play all major tournamentsâŠ
First off 1/3 or 1/2 is mind numbing in Vegas⊠itâs hard to play, the only way to profit is to play hands you really shouldnât⊠AKA I play back raised pots⊠if you flop decent you have the chance to make decent moneyâŠ
If I do play low stakes I play 2/3 at the Orleans⊠it plays like a hybrid 2/5 5/10 game but you can only buy in for $600 so pots get big fast⊠if I do play 2/5 itâs the Wynn or Bellagio or Aria⊠Iâll also seek into the 5/10 games because the play is the same just higher buy insâŠ
My hats off to all low stakes grinders because that what it is, sometimes you have to play 7-8 hours and run like a god just to crack the 1K profit mark, where in 2/5 5/10 thatâs possible in 2 or 3 handsâŠ
People always preached to me not to jump into games like that so early but how I play Iâm almost more comfortable there⊠most people donât have the ability to put 80% of their checks to Vegas like i do⊠but Iâm quickly getting a bankroll where I can try again moving out there to try to play full time
Hope to see you when youâre in town. Thanks for watching!
@@toddswardenski
Trying to make the Wynn March millions, but truth is hotel prices are through the roof⊠Iâll be paying 30-40% higher then norm
Hey man just stumbled across your channel I think itâs really good to be perfectly honest from all the other CZcamsrs that I see and poker players I think youâre way too good for 1/3. I donât think Iâm very good at poker but from what Iâve seen I actually think youâre way too advanced for this level and should be playing 2/5.
Anyway Iâll keep watching and see how your progress keep up the work
Much appreciated! Iâve been a 2/5 and 5/10 reg (check out some of the older content if youâd like) and Iâll be back to sharing those streets in the somewhat near future.
@@toddswardenski I feel pretty stupid lol. I actually went back and watched your whole back catalogue in a day.
At least I was right in what I thought.
I think youâve youâve become my favourite poker Vlogger, so informative.
Maybe give some more insight on spr and pot odds if this is what youâre trying to achieve. Anyway hope you drop some new stuff quick as Iâve binge watched your entire episodes.
Keep up the great work
Seems like an early position limps then back raises is a common practice at this stake.
Sometimes. Just depends on the player types I guess đ€·đŒââïž
Moving to $1/3 from $2/5 is so painful ⊠hang in there brotha đ
Definitely not as exciting to play, but itâs SO profitable at the same time. Iâll be back in the 2/5+ streets soon enough đ
Thanks for watching!
How do you feel about the game quality of the Wynn 1-3 vs other big rooms in Vegas such as Venetian Bellagio and Aria 1-2 1-3? The impression I got was a little softer than the average with a lot of fit or fold.
I like it more than the other rooms because the cap is 500 and I feel like more mistakes are made at that depth in the 1/3 streets than the 100bb caps of the other properties. Hope that helps!
Where did you go?
Todd⊠Todd⊠you still with us? Hope all is well man. Havenât seen a new post for some time. Would love to see some new vlogs bro.
Thanks for videos. I am a beginner at playing live poker for $1 $2 so this may seem like a dumb question. In hand 4 when you had two black queens and the flop came 3 hearts, and BB put minimum raise in, I would have 100% called to see another card as you had equity in your hand, it was a small raise, & could have flopped a set of trips and possible boat and stacked the dude if he caught a flush. What was your reasoning for not seeing another card? Is that what the books recommend? Just trying to learn proper poker theory. Thanks
Itâs more of an exploit at this level. This player never raised without having a nutted hand strength, so even tho itâs a tiny raise relative to the pot, itâs a losing call long term. If he was more capable of bluffing then itâs a different story but I hadnât seen anything convincing me that he was bluffing at a reasonable frequency. Hope that makes sense!
Todd, good to see new quality poker content!
I'm no expert so please take this with a grain of salt. Your thought process needs a little work regarding hand reading. At low stakes, misreading aggression as slam dunk strength is a mistake.
Like the QQ hand when the flop came 932 two clubs. There are a ton of hands that will value raise in position there, both made hands and the strongest draws. Be wary of over tightening your opponent's perceived ranges too quickly as the hand progresses.
Overall though, this is a good vlog. Keep it up, you earned another new viewer today!
Glad you enjoyed!
He could certainly have more hands than just a set of nines for value, most notably TT and JJ, however that is still a very limited range of actual made hands considering all raises with a draw would still be considered a bluff. Itâs unlikely heâs raising +1 over a limp with 33 or 22, so the point of my commentary is that weâre basically only losing to a set of nines for value and we should be ahead of every other raise since KK+ would most likely be 4-betting pre. And thatâs why the 3-bet jam happened.
I have learned to get away preflop raises against nits. Just gotta get a little info on who the nits are at the table. Lol
And thr pocket 9 hand....what were you thinking! Lol
Hard to know if he actually doesnât chop or not, and I think the play is fine if he ever has AJ+ in there too. Impossible to know tho đ
@@toddswardenski Yes it is as you never know.
I just got back playing poker after 6 months away. I don't play once archery season is around. Got 4 sessions in so far about 20 hours. Have not flopped a set in those 4 sessions. Lol crazy
Quick question, is this hidden camera or are casinos allowing cameras now? Cus mine definitely do not.
Itâs def a room by room thing. The main casinos in Vegas seem to have no issues with it. My phone is setup on the rail with pop socket and no one says anything.
Its weird. A bunch of these small poker vloggers all stopped uploading around the same time 9 months ago. Josh Uron, Huggie, Rob Stacks, DonkFish and now I see this one stopped too. All pretty good small vloggers. Wonder what happened.
Poker beast also
The algorithm changed. If they werenât producing reels/shorts (under 20 seconds) CZcams stopped pushing longer format videos. It is all pushed to keep scrolling.
I can only speak for myself, but I wanted to focus on playing and not worry about filming at the table this past year. Looking forward to getting back on the wagon with content this year, so stay tuned!
@@toddswardenski awesome! You have great content. Hoping for you to run good!
What does Eff on top mean?
@eliya6281 effective stack size
Todd: are you going to continue with your Vlog past #12?
Hey Todd, so I live in Mississippi and the smallest game we have near me at all is a 1/3 NL no max. I have $600 behind to start playing. Do you think I should just save more and then start at 1/3 or could I go in now? Iâve been studying around 1-2 hours a day for about a month and wanna take a stab, but just worried I donât have enough bankroll. Great video man!
I would suggest playing microstakes online. Bovada and America's card room are legit sites that operate offshore in a grey area even if poker isn't legal in Mississippi they get away with it. So u could buy in for $5 or $10 max. Playing online has improved my game because u can play so many more hands. If $600 is ur whole bankroll and there is no way for u to build ur roll outside of playing poker then I'd only play online. If u could lose that $600 and it not really matter then yes by all means take a shot at 1/3.
I agree with Old Man Cannabis. I started online micro stakes and joined a popular Poker training site so I could
Apply what Iâve learned. That was 4 years ago. I still play to stay sharp. Started with $45 playing .05/.10. Built it up to nearly $1k.
I would keep saving until you have ~3-4 buy-ins for a session of live play before taking the shot assuming you can save up again if you go bust. Iâd want to be buying into the game for 300-400 if I was just starting to play live poker so 1200-1600 seems like a good number to me.
Just remember there are some growing pains when it comes to figuring out live play vs. the study youâve put in, so donât get discouraged if it takes a little longer than you thought. Good luck!
Find out what the max buy in is, multiple by 3. If you're not comfortable losing that amount, don't play.
I watch these vlogs and one thing these guys have in common. They tell you the importance of position, but NEVER play like position is important.
Position is important but Iâm not sure what youâre referring to specifically
Do you feel like people are abusing the limo back raise these days? I feel like Iâve been seeing it too often.
Still grinding or went broke?
We are seeing about 10-12 hands on ur vblog..... about how many hands are u actually playing in ur sessions... n about how long are they??
I have notes on 25 hands from this session, which was about 7 hours long. That doesnât include hands that I took down with a flop c-bet, or any free flops I saw from the BB that werenât interesting.
@Todd Swardenski thx.... I just wanted some context..... im trying to get a better understanding of the flow to my game vs how I see u and a few other vblogers play. Many times I feel I go card dead in my sessions, so I wanted to know the "general" flow of hand u see n play. I really appreciate tht
Ugh pertaining the hand where you played 10 8 of spades â ïž on the button. I got stacked at Venetian tonight in a $2/$4 game. I raised ace king off from utg to $15. I got one caller who is on the button. The flop was ace jack 7 and I cbet $35. The villain calls. The turn brings a 9. I bet $50 and the villain raises to $150. I call. A 7 on the river pairs the board and I jam and get snap called by 10 9 âŠïžđ€ź
Brutal.
Seems a $12 or $15 bet does not isolate. Considered $17 or $22? People tend to look at you as a player not knowing what you're doing when you bet a size slightly larger than normal, but within a range they may call. Sometimes get light calls if they feel you are unaware.
I think most players at 1/3 just decide theyâre going to limp-call or overcall regardless of sizing, so Iâm personally fine navigating post without inflating the pot too too much
son is mad timid and scared
Wow. Cute bunnies.
Year of the Rabbit!
You were way too close to the camera at the beginning. It was a bit creepy. Lol
You donât like 1984? đ
Your open sizing is way to small they will call 20 all day
Any time you see players talking like that you need to tell the floor
BackRaise? Reraise. You flop the nuts dont bet half pot. check or min bet.
First hand "slow played 8". No one is "slow playing" an 8. You're up against a 6 or better. They're trying to build a pot.
Misspoke in the VO and the correction was visual noting it was a likely 6 checked on the flop . Apologies for the confusion, friend.
No offense & i Wish i Knew 3 Other Languages but i've went at a Few Dealers 4 doing this BS & That's Acting like they don't hear Other Languages being Spoke while the Hand is still in play!! đ€š
Yeah, it was quiet but Iâd rather not battle people who potentially know more cards than I do
Why are you tipping this dealer when this dealer doesnât protect you by not telling the Russians only English please?
$800 pot win and you tip $1...the type to show up at a bbq with a bag of fritos as your contribution.
What you donât see is when I tip $45 on the hands I win the blinds pre.
This is the stupidest comment Iâve ever seen shows how you donât play poker for a living. A good player would prob make 10-15bb an hour. Let the man make his money. Especially when you trying to grind out these small games with the rake.
Yeah tip the dealer $50 when the casino takes out at least $6 per hand. You are either an angry dealer who doesn't get tips or just plain stupid
